Your
Birth Star or Nakshatra
The
Ancient Rishis divided the 360 degree zodiac into 12 houses of
30 degrees each and further subdivided it into 27 Nakshatras or
star-constellations of 13.20 degrees each. These Nakshatras are
further subdivided into four quarters each called Pada. The placement
of a planet in these divisions and subdivisions was studied to fine
tune the predictions.
The
nakshatra in which your moon is placed in your birth chart is called
your Janma Nakshatra. The following are some of the basic
characteristics of a person born in various Nakshatras. However these
get modified based on the other planetary conditions in ones chart.
